[quote=Anonymous]I would listen to her mom for the most part. The one departure would be frequent text. Estranged ACs complain about that a lot. I would send one letter telling you that you love her and the door is always open. Tell her you are always willing to listen without judgment. Tell her you will participate in family therapy with her if she ever wants to do that. Don’t tell her how much you are hurting or that you miss her terribly, because she’ll be encouraged to view that as guilt tripping. And then respect her boundaries around communicating. If she comes back, do not push anything about your GF. Just concentrate on strengthening your relationship with DD and start from there. I’m sorry OP, this NC thing has been an epidemic and so many families are needlessly damaged. [/quote]
